Save The Date:Thur, Aug 6 – 4:00-5:00PM It is 70 years since the USA dropped a Uranium bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and a Plutonium bomb on Nagasaki on August 9th.

Please join us in a silent vigil to mourn those who lost their lives from atomic bombs. Let us honor peace activists demanding that Article 9 be protected. 42nd St Library steps at Fifth Ave
